When n crowd of jaybawkera started n disturbance In a Texas church; tbo other day.itlrt) presobei raised a shot gun and said: "W illiam Dello, sit down, or I'll mke It painful for you." William set down nnd wee quiet aa a tanb.' We give below the balauoe of the obser vations made by the editor of tbo Peters burg Prog rem on bla reoent trip through tbo lower oil region. Hie statement of tbe eon. dition of tbn oil towns In that section is about aa lair n one aa we have had yet: Millerstown presents all tbe bustle nnd confusion incident upon new development. Tbe many recent strikes bringing in opera torn from all parte ol tbe country. Being an old town, aod having many advantages In tbe way otsolld, quiet substantial resi dents, it Is, to our mind tbe best ol all tb( lower oil towns. Hotels of some magnitude ; pleasant residences or oil man who ore sup posed to be some relation to old Croesus, give quite n healthy tone to tbe place, ' not withstanding tbe turbulanoa and careless ness of many ot tbe more present arrivals. Butler, although n very old town, bas not yet fully awakened to the importance of de velopment beiog made In ber aoap mines, notwithstanding tbe backwardness or tbe native population. A etrong element or tbe stirring, bustling, nervous oil men has given an impetus to business which would have been who! ly nnknown but for tbe discovery of tbe great reservoir of petroleum which baa made of tbe buckwheat country" quite n respec table neighbor. Greece City which bas proven to be tbe end of tbo development, presents tbe ap pearance of an overgrown baby it is puffed up a great deal, but the solid elements are entirely wanting. Here we round . tbe greatest excitement pievailicg, men crezy with "oil on the brain," men crazy because they hadn't any, and others because they were going to try aod get it. The people are very rough, disturbances ate frequent; liquor ia the common coverage. It bas no appearance or stability whatever, and al ready it has began to feel tbe evil effecte.o dry boles In ita vicinity. Buenn .Vista, four mile from Greece City, is just on tbe edge of tbe belt, and will probably be of aa much importance as some of tbe mora notable towns alieady no ticed' Operating la being pushed forward with great energy, and if the wells now un der way should prove to bo successful, much new territory will bo opened np. EVMIURT. Taken altogether we believe that tbe con dition oT the oil business waa never so crltl eel as at tbe present time. Tha almost Incredible number of wells going down, tbe men for leases:' these have n tendency to keep the prloe of oil where it It. Tbe busl nosa in this, tbo third dlstrlot ba passed through tbo ordeal, and by experience men have' learned tbat to devslope territory 00 credit I the worst and" moat uterty foolish, pi nil' plans; not only 1 this system' ioimi' oal the beat, interests bfprodueers but to all Who are connected with tbo business, either directly or indirectly. Tne lower oil dls IrMt being operated woolly neon tola ays tern will pass virtually Into the bands or tbe k'rUT, for tbe pressure in. financial matters which at present exists, canbot be borne, The atriking of many dry bole baa already created a paole, nod those who have become utterly disgusted, and tbe probabilities are they will become more so before tbo first of 3ptember. The way ol this "wicked nnd perverse generation" are put finding, out. Last night some sinner olimbed 00 the roof of homo on Washington street, occupied by Little Jake the elothei cleaner, nnd stuffed tha stove pipe fall of old rags soaked in oil, This morn lag Jako roee from' bla virtuous eoncb and proceeded to light tha fire. soon as tbe match started tha flame a fourth ol July explosion occurred which came near blowing tha roof off tha building and a' it wa set fir to the roof ol the bouse. Fortunately It was raining nt tha time, otb. erwlse a conflagration would hav ensued. In various localities about the lake there are lying on the bottom n number of vessels many of them of the better oiaas, laden witb railroad iron and other property ot great value; among which may be Included both Iron and copper ore. Witb some of tbe new appliances for raising wreeka from great depths, nejrly all of these vessels, witb their oargoes, can be recovered without much difficulty, should no atorms Intervene. Tbe weather tbua far tbla season baa been un usually favorable for suoh undertakings, ana possibly may thus cootluue during tbe summer months, and, horn what can be Inarned of tbose engaged in tbe enterprise, too experiment win soon be entered upon. One or these lost vessels is tbe schooner Saltillo, laden with railroad iton, which sunk in tbe river St. Clair some jwenty years siooe. Parties are now engaged in recovering the cargo, but as the vessels we along In years the hull bas doubtless be come broken by ice, and is of little value, Tbe amount of property thus burled be neath top water has been estimated at up wards 63,000,000, wbloh is probably be- iow iue actual ngm.ee. ueirou free rreav, June 4. Advertise in the Rtronn, Petroleaun and In Products. Petroleum and the wauy products derived from It are at present so extensively tbat It is ol great importance , lo have a fixed standard by wbiob to .determine vbelr commercial value, aa well aa their applica bility to tbo iotended purpose. The llgui oils, or so-called naptbas, greatly differ in their degree ot volatility, though safety and efficiency lo their manifold relations, fre quently depend en Ibis quality. In view ol these facts, aod In ordt lo se- cure consumers against aecepiion, n stated tbat tbe largest chemical establish ments in tbe country bas adopted tbe plan of dividing these napthas Into five classes ranging from n specifio gravity of 0 95 0.75 and a boiling point from one hundred and four to three hundred and tbirty-efgbt de grees. Tbe quality to every case is gusrau. teed, and the price conforms to It, The value of carbolic scid , new to much In de mand as a disinfectant, depends on the aoount of phenel contained in it, which is very variable in different specimens. Tbe samemauufacturers accurately ascertain ib'e percentage of phenol in ibeir prcducl?, and regulate tbe prico in proportion. By thus giving definitely .the amount of tbe active principal, Jtbe economical and aucceselu use ol tbe article is greatly facilitated, tbe price being sole ly itf accordance witb the positive Intrinsic value of tbe material. Notes. In yesterday's issue ye editor sighs and give vent to bis thoughts in a wa 1 "O for a local." This aroused our natural sympathetic feeling and we find the following notes lying around loose. Every ona bas a better opinion or tbem selves apd tbeir's than any oae else. This we fully believe after hearing the following gratuitous complimentary from the mother ol a baby: "Sir, it is the prettiest, sweet est, nicest, dearest, lovlieat little darling in the world." Io my opinion, .tbe dirtiest, ugliest, idiotic, pug-nosed, squealing little nuiaunce in existence In tbe world. Our friend around the corner, who stands without ai equal in bia business, met witb quite an accideut last night wbloh happily did not result seriously. Last evening be paid nnusual attention to ibis toilet, espec ially tbosa Ambrosial Lock. Something wa up. A pio nio at the lirown tarm waa tbo cause of this unnatural "get up." While crossing Oil Creek, two tires came off tbe wagon but even this did not deter Jblra from bl purpose. While asoeodtng the bill this side bis destination a vlciau ..canine dls. played bia wicked propensities to bita aod bark to such an extent tbat the horses took fright nnd became unmanageable, and . ran away, throwing tbo occupant out wltbou no cere many or safely. Mr. Weaver is at a loss to know bow long bo lay insensible but was "on deck," at tbe same bonr this morning doing duty in his usual brisk man. nor. Tbe party who tendered us a voluntary serenade last night will please alng United State hereafter so that we cao appieclate him more fully. A man, evidently a Universalis!, lays tbat fotty-rour dollar was raised by oollec lion (or Rev. Getty while only seventeen waa raised for Mr. Graham aod no move mant waa made on the part ot tbe brethren to make the amount equal to Mr. Getty's until tbe Unlveraelists raised tbe amount It this ba true, It ibowt rapacity on tbe part ot tbe Methodist who were largely In tbe majority, nnd generosity In tbe cup'la tlve on the part or tbo raw Universalis!. A man whose pedal extremities were 0 nnusual largeneea wa accosted by an nrehio with "Mr. you will bav plenty of corn this fall if the weather I propltionst" What do yon mean, air, I am no agricul turist." Nothing, only tbat you bad corn in aore lot I can actually aea 'em breath. It Is sinoerely to be hoped by a II order loving people, tbat tbe fiend of lust wbiob bsvo been let loose over the entire country will b obecked.

Emporium, the county seat ot Cameron county, on tbe Philadelphia and Erie Road, waa visited by a very destructive fire on the morning of tbe 8th. The Ore originated in tbe rear of a tailor shop In the Cook block. Before tbe fire engine arrived tbe fire bad gained great headway. Tbe flames spread rapidly and enveloped a number of buildings adjolnlug. The following were consumed: Two drug stores, poitoffloe, boot and boe atere, millinery shop, Camer on county Herald ocs, hardware store blacksmith aod wagon shop, aod three dwelling hoases. The loss Is from $20,000 to 520,000 partially covered by insurance. Oil News.
